Gidday,
Some folks have requested size_t type variants of Atomic add, dec and
inc; to save on messy looking casts or using an inappropriate type.
Bug/Enhancement: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8037295
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dsimms/8037295/
<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Edsimms/8037295/>
Have searched for existing cases, most looked like a potential change in
type size or requiring const (still needs cast), except for
heapRegionRemSet.hpp where size_t was clearly the intended type.
Testing: hotspot jtreg tests and "quick test list".
Cheers
