This 'Base' will be an instance of the struct<br>
Scheduler_EDF_SMP_Context. In memory, it will look like this:<br>
Scheduler_EDF_SMP_Context Base =<br>
the 0-valued array won't actually take any storage.<br>

><br>
In memory this structure will look like this:<br>
{ Scheduler_SMP_Context, int64_t, Chain_Control,<br>
Scheduler_EDF_SMP_Ready_queue[CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PROCESSORS + 1] }<br>
Because the Scheduler_EDF_SMP_Context type comes first and provides<br>
{ Scheduler_SMP_Context, int64_t, Chain_Control,<br>
Scheduler_EDF_SMP_Ready_queue[0] } where the last element is a 0-value<br>
array so it doesn't actually take up any memory storage, then the<br>
Scheduler_EDF_SMP_Ready_queue Ready[ CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PROCESSORS + 1]<br>
overlaps with the Scheduler_EDF_SMP_Ready_queue[0] because the end of<br>
Base aligns with the start of Ready.<br>
<br>
This is what I meant by you need to review how C struct layout works.<br>
