The current code wants to record an error condition from either ferror() or fclose(), but makes sure that we always call both functions. So it can't use logical-OR "||", which would short-circuit when ferror() is true. Instead, it uses bitwise-OR "|" to evaluate both functions and set one or more bits in the "err" flag if they reported a failure. Unlike logical-OR, though, bitwise-OR does not introduce a sequence point, and the order of evaluation for its operands is unspecified. So a compiler would be free to generate code which calls fclose() first, and then ferror() on the now-freed filehandle. There's no indication that this has happened in practice, but let's write it out in a way that follows the standard.
