The easiest way to see how the compiler expect things to work is
to write C code, and then compile with the -S option and look
at the assembly listing given. GCC passes parameters on the stack,
from right to left.  So, at entry to your function, [ESP+4] = left most
argument.  Normally, return values go in EAX.  Floats are different of 
course.  Sorry I can't help with returning structs, check the assembly
output
