[8u-dev] Request for approval: 8205677: [8u] casts and type change for 8u to enable later Windows compilers

[Kevin Walls]

Hi,

I'd like to request approval for this 8u change:

8205677: [8u] casts and type change for 8u to enable later Windows 
compilers
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8205677

8u webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kevinw/8205677/webrev.02

hotspot-dev review: 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2018-July/033495.html

This is a collection of new small changes aiming to permit 8u to build 
with later Windows compilers (and also with the current VS2010).

Thanks
Kevin
