Message: [QUOTE="Eric Sosman, post: 4216749"] In a purely sequential model, only the accuracy of the branch prediction will make any difference. Either way you write the code, you will take exactly one branch if there's an `else', zero or one branches if not. You'll take the same number of branches with `&&' as with `&' or a variant; the only difference is in how many branches you'll execute but not take. If they're usually not taken but usually predicted to be taken, all I can say is your compiler doesn't predict very well and should get a job doing weather forecasts. [/QUOTE]
