This isn't correct, although it currently works. const_count is supposed to be an inout parameter for GetConstantDesc() (you could potentially have multiple instances of the same constant in different register sets). The current implementation of GetConstantDesc() doesn't check the parameter and blindly returns only the first descriptor, also setting const_count to 1 (actually the following descriptors aren't even parsed currently by the constant table code IIRC) so this ends up working, although that's a bug and at some point it might get fixed which would in turn break this. Also it's a bit of an "overload" to use the same variable here and as the count of constant elements / members in the following lines, it's probably nicer to use two separate variables.
BTW you're using GetConstantDesc() correctly in get_constants_desc().
I was looking into GetConstantsDesc() implementation to get the idea how constants count can be > 1 there, and saw there that the count is ultimately 1, that's why left it like that. Do you think it is OK just to set count to 1 prior to the call? As I get MSDN text for this count > 1 is possible only for samplers and we should not get here for samplers anyway.
