You don't need to cast from int to jlong. The callers of these methods expect
int:
src/hotspot/share/services/threadService.cpp:1103:55: warning: conversion from
'jlong' {aka 'long int'} to 'int' may change value [-Wconversion]
1103 | int init_size = ThreadService::get_live_thread_count();
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~
Changing int to jlong here, gets a new warning:
src/hotspot/share/services/threadService.cpp:1104:54: warning: conversion from
'jlong' {aka 'long int'} to 'int' may change value [-Wconversion]
1104 | _threads_array = new GrowableArray<instanceHandle>(init_size);
| ^~~~~~~~~
If you look up in the header file, the field is an int. It makes sense to
return an int:
static volatile int _atomic_threads_count;
static volatile int _atomic_daemon_threads_count;
Correcting the types means returning a type that matches the declaration so
that its consistent.
