FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The specification of The Java Language Specification, Third Edition allows define the expression statement in following form:
f() || f();
Thus the following function f() should be valid

abstract public boolean f1();

public void f() {
    f1() || f1();
}

But javac cannot compile it.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
try to compile following class:
public class SomeClass {
    int n = 0;
    public boolean f1() {
        return n++ % 2 == 0;
    }
    
    public void f() {
        f1() || f1();
    }
}


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
compilation should be successful
ACTUAL -
We have 1 error.


ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
SomeClass.java:8: not a statement

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
