You're asking in the wrong place. To get that explanation, you need to
contact someone familiar with this particular function. The person who
wrote the latest version of that function would be best. However, if you
can't reach such a person, then look for somebody who's written code
that calls the routine.

If you replaced the body of the function with { return;}, who would know
that it wasn't working properly? If there's no one who would know, then
you might as well perform the replacement - at least it doesn't
segfault. If there is someone who can tell you that such a replacement
wasn't working properly, that person can also tell you something
important about what "working properly" means for this particular
function. Find that person and ask.
