I have variables in my shader declared as such:

float3 f3MotionVector = float3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
float4 fvWhite        = float4(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);

float4 fvTintColor = {1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f};
float fBumpMapSmoothness = 1.0f;
float fSmoothness = 1.0f;

I can use shader reflection to get the variables to populate my constant buffer with but I need to set the default values in the buffer.  Unfortunately the DefaultValue field is always 0.  Is there another way I can get at these values or a way to make the DefaultValue field not 0?

Using the March 09 SDK.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Not currently, the compiler doesn't emit this information, and nobody has complained since DX10 came out. I suppose that's changed now, so I'll bump the priority on this.

Thanks.  It's important since otherwise default values don't mean much and there are cases where we depend on them.
