    Description

      A timer with an interval longer than INT_MAX/10000 is not fired correctly.

      In https://github.com/qtproject/qtbase/blob/dev/src/corelib/kernel/qeventdispatcher_winrt.cpp line 291 (QEventDispatcherWinRT::registerTimer):
      period.Duration = interval ? (interval * 10000) : 1;

      interval is of type int (32 bit)
      period.Duration is of type int64 (64bit)

      If interval is larger than INT_MAX/10000, an integer overflow occur.

      Solution: convert to 64bit before multiplication

      replace line 291:
      period.Duration = interval ? (interval * 10000) : 1;

      with

      if (interval) {
        period.Duration = interval;
        period.Duration *= 10000; // TimeSpan is based on 100-nanosecond units
      } else {
         period.Duration = 1;
      }
