uint64_t build_table ( int32_t myparameter ) {

 if ( myparameter == 7 ) {
   return BOOL_TRUE;
 }
 else if
 (myparameter == 29 ) {
   return BOOL_FALSE;
  }
  else
 {
   return 23;
 }

 return 5;
}

So why should you get 5 back when you send in 0?

Maybe you could explain exactly how you think your program can print the value 5?

uint64_t build_table ( int32_t myparameter ) {
    if (myparameter == 7) {
        return BOOL_TRUE;
    } else if (myparameter == 29) {
        return BOOL_FALSE;
    } else {
        return 23; <== exactly why shouldn't input 0 reach this line?
    }

    return 5; <== exactly how do you expect your program to reach this line?
}

Exactly why do you think 0 is magical and should ignore the "return 23" statement?
