Hello all,

I was wondering about how DJGPP would handle a very large if statement
which contained alot of '&&' in it.  Does the compiler make it so that
the instant it hits a 'false' value it breaks out, or does it continue
through all of tests and then does the '&&' operation(s) later?  I need
to know in order to try and optimize a program that I am writing.  Any
help you can give will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for you time.
