[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52016] conversion to short circuit in if, while but not in until

[Ernst Reissner]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #52016 (project octave):

There is another place in the manual also: Section 8.5.2: 

matlab has special behavior that allows the operators ‘&’ and ‘|’ to
short-circuit when
used in the truth expression for if and while statements. Octave behaves the
same way for
compatibility, however, the use of the ‘&’ and ‘|’ operators in this
way is strongly discouraged
and a warning will be issued. Instead, you should use the ‘&&’ and
‘||’ operators that always
have short-circuit behavior.


One could mention until also: 
As matlab does not support until-statement, 
in octave, & and | behave regularly in until-conditions. 

Also a reference to the warning would be fine.
