Maybe I'm wrong but | is a bitwise operator while || is a logical one.
There are no functional changes as you said but, from K&R, "One must
distinguish the bitwise operators & and | from the logical operators
&& and II, which imply left-to-right evaluation of a truth value. For
example, if x is 1 and y is 2, then x & y is zero while x && y is one"
so it'd be slightly faster if the first condition is true, and it
would be the "correct" operator to use in this case, even though it
doesn't affect the result.
