A sample code being worth thousands words, here are my little
findings. I'm aware that using long all the way may have got me out of
trouble, but I wanted to share these weird results that some may
consider as a bug. In hosted mode there is no pb. The comments
contains the content of the popups in the "gwtcompiled" mode. Tested
with gwt 2.1 and 2.2 under Chrome, Firefox4 and IE9:


public class MyApp implements EntryPoint{

    public void onModuleLoad() {
        long m=0, n=0, o=0, p=0, q=0;
        int i = 0;
        int j = Integer.MAX_VALUE-1;

        while (i < j)i++;
        alert("i==j?" + (i==j)  + " but i=" + i +" and j=" + j);
        //==> i==j?true but i=2147483646 and j=2.147483646E9
        // did you notice the "float notation" of j?

        n = n + j;
        n = n + j;
        o = o + i;
        o = o + i;
        //given i == j we can suppose that n == o??
        alert("n="+n + "  o="+o);
        //firefox, chrome, ie9 ==>n=-4  o=4294967292

        p = p + (long)j;
        p = p + (long)j;

        alert("n="+n + "  o="+o + "  p="+p);
        //firefox, chrome, ie9 ==>n=-4  o=4294967292  p=4294967292
        //p == o :) this one was expected.

        for(int k = 0; k<2; k++){
                m = m + j;
        }
        //at least m should be equal to n, no?
        alert("n=" + n +" m=" + m);
        //firefox, chrome, ie9 ==>n=-4 m=4294967292
    }

    public void alert(String s){
        Window.alert(s);
    }
}
