Problem with the stack on m68k

I ran the following function using gcc-2.95.2 configured for a straight
68k with '-O4 -fomit-frame-pointer':


unsigned int rotateright(unsigned int a, unsigned int b)
{
  return (a << b | (a >> (32 - b)));
}

and got as output:

.text
.globl rotateright
	.type	 rotateright,@function
rotateright:
	move.l 4(%sp),%d0
	move.l 8(%sp),%d1
	rol.l %d1,%d0
	rts
	nop

As you can see, the return address is a 0(%sp), the first param(a) is at
4(%sp), and the second param(b) is at 8(%sp).  Also note that the return
value is left in %d0, and the stack pointer is not adjusted by the
callee.

If that is all your function is to do, just leave it in C...

Hope this helps,
