From: Steve Hoelzer <shoelzer@xxxxxxxxx> >From Visual Studio 2015 Code Analysis: Warning C28159 Consider using 'GetTickCount64' instead of 'GetTickCount'. Reason: GetTickCount() overflows roughly every 49 days. Code that does not take that into account can loop indefinitely. GetTickCount64() operates on 64 bit values and does not have that problem. Note: this patch has been carried in Git for Windows for almost two years, but with a fallback for Windows XP, as the GetTickCount64() function is only available on Windows Vista and later. However, in the meantime we require Vista or later, hence we can drop that fallback.
