That's because evaluation of boolean expression is *always* short
cirtuited, in C. The original designers of the language decided that,
and it has been cast into the international standard on C, as well.
This is not addressed in the docs you searched because none of them
deals with the definition of C, itself.

You cannot switch to 'complete bool eval' in any C compiler.  If you
have one where you can do that, the language it compiles is no longer
C.
