Hey CLC,

I was wondering if there is a way to avoid the C short circuiting for 
boolean expressions such as the following:

if(a && b && c) {
     /* Do stuff */
}

I am currently doing GPU programming and it would be better to evaluate 
the entire condition, even if a is 0, since branches are slow.
