 your patch.

oops!!!
I will take care of this one.

Tests in native show that D3DXSHMultiply gives what I implemented.
We can not reuse a input variable as output (we don't obtain what we expect logically).

To me it looks like they do share a lot of calculations, And if the order doesn't matter (see >comment above) then it may be possible to rearrange the calculation.

I do the computations
 with a formal computation software. Unfortunately I did not use the same for D3DXSHMultiply4 and D3DXSHMultiply3 ..... (Xcas vs Maple). And obtain the exact values look beyond the capacities of these softwares.

And even the worst, since the integrated functions  oscillate, the internal algorithm of the software are not robust to compute the integrals. For a given number of significative digits, that's why we obtain slightly different  values for the both softwares.

Addind defines will add tons on variables for no gain. But I can simplify slightly the function by calling D3DXSHMultiply3.

I will give it a try. I worry about efficiency.

Best regards
