If you are worried with all the cases, you can very easily display your code as a truth table with nearly no overhead in this way:

  myVar =
    (!cond1) && (!cond2) && (!cond3) ? myValue_0 :   // case 0 0 0 blabla 
    (!cond1) && (!cond2) &&  (cond3) ? myValue_1 :   // case 0 0 1 bla
    (!cond1) &&  (cond2) && (!cond3) ? myValue_2 :   // case 0 1 0 blablabla
    (!cond1) &&  (cond2) &&  (cond3) ? myValue_3 :   // case 0 1 1 
     (cond1) && (!cond2) && (!cond3) ? myValue_4 :   // case 1 0 0 
     (cond1) && (!cond2) &&  (cond3) ? myValue_5 :   // case 1 0 1 
     (cond1) &&  (cond2) && (!cond3) ? myValue_6 :   // case 1 1 0 
     (cond1) &&  (cond2) &&  (cond3) ? myValue_7 :   // case 1 1 1 
                                       defaultValue; // uninteresting default (null, -1...)
