I might have written
     int n = order * order;
     for (i=0; i < n; i++)
to avoid repeating the multiplication every time around the loop,
even though multiplication is cheap nowadays, and -O1 will optimize
it out anyway.   Staying in the habit of avoiding 'expensive'
operations in loop limits might still be a good idea, since the
optimizer can't always save you.

Or is that considered ugly these days?

D3DXSHAdd() has the same code, which is where this came from, probably.
