Re: [boost] [tribool] short-circuting issue with overloads of operator|| and operator&&

Is this by design and do I have to access the tribool's 'value' member directly?

I wouldn't say it's "by design" - rather it's an unfortunate limitation of C++ that overloaded boolean operators cannot emulate the short-circuiting behaviour as with builtin types.

Hmm, I didn't look thoroughly at it but wouldn't it be possible to remove these overloads? I've seen a proposal for bool_set that doesn't overload (anymore) the two logical operators. -- Klaus
