hi, i just studied the code of the provided RTE example for the netStick and found a confusing statement.

in the file "ShmDemo_Resources.c",
line 119,
in the function "TaskResource_ShmDemo_InitLocal"

 
  TLR_RESULT TaskResource_ShmDemo_InitLocal(SHM_DEMO_RSC_T* ptRsc, void* pvInit)
  {
     /* initialize */
     (pvInit = pvInit);
     ....
  }

i'm not new to C, but my eyes didn't see something like that before.
what is the purpose of this statement?

greez, harry
