[8u-dev] Request for approval for CR 8196884: VS2017 Multiple Type Cast Conversion Compilation Errors

[Kevin Walls]

Hi,

I'd like to request approval to backport from 11 to 8u:

8196884: VS2017 Multiple Type Cast Conversion Compilation Errors
JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8196884

11 changeset:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/844bf1deff1a

11 review thread:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2018-February/030221.html

After path unshuffling, the only import rejects are copyright years which I'm fixing manually.

Thanks
Kevin
