No, the C++ specification is such that it always evaluates conditions in a lazy manner from left to right.

You cannot assume that it is not evaluated. Maybe the compiler compiles the code is such a way both get checked anyways. Or maybe the compiler copiles it so the second statement gets checked first. You -never- know for sure, so you should be explicit about it. I would do it this way (please note I use NULL instead of using !, because strictly taken, you should always check pointers with NULL. I think gcc even complains about it.)
if (pPlayer == NULL) { // Do the code } else { if (!pPlayer->IsNetClient()) { // Do the code here too } }
This structure is a bit odd, beacouse you have the code twice. So you should use a function there. If you want to avoid using a function, just figure out a different way to write the check (there always is a way to do it). Just make sure you never try "pPlayer->IsNetClient()" if pPlayer is NULL.
