------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
src/share/vm/gc/g1/g1CollectedHeap.cpp
2488   uint n_queues = (uint)ParallelGCThreads;
2489   for (uint i = 0; i < n_queues; i++) {

Why not just

    for (uint i = 0; i < ParallelGCThreads; ++i) {

That way, the person who fixes the type of ParallelGCThreads won't
need to consider making any changes here.

Similarly at line 3847.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
src/share/vm/gc/g1/g1StringDedupQueue.cpp
  45   _nqueues = (size_t)ParallelGCThreads;

I think a cast is inappropriate here. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
src/share/vm/gc/g1/g1StringDedupTable.cpp
 115   _nlists = (size_t)ParallelGCThreads;

I think a cast is inappropriate here.
