What exactly is this just decompile code doing *obj = new object();

[Noel]

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)]
internal static void Yg319Q8iWu5T64xrKe(object obj)
{
    *obj = new object();
}

I get this code generated quite a bit in the dll's we are trying to understand. What exactly is it doing, or trying to do.
