C++ optimization of boolean or operator [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

• C++ short-circuiting of booleans 8 answers

I have the following code which works as expected:

bool result=false;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
    if(face[i].intersect(*coordinates, org, dir))
    {
        result = true;
    }
}
return result;

But this one has a different behavior (the value pointed to by coordinates is different)

bool result=false;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
    result = result || faceList[i].intersect(*coordinates, org, dir, triangle);
}
return result;

What's the reason for this? Is the expression after || never evaluated if the one before is true? I thought this optimization was allowed only in an if statement.
