Detailed Description

Description: Thread safe way to do something N times

Usage: This class allows one to safely do a 'non-side-effect' operation N times in a job. An example use would be

void myFunc( int iValue) {
  static CallNTimesNoWait message{2};
  message([&]() { edm::LogInfo("IWantToKnow")<<"called with "<<iValue; } );

The important thing to remember, is there is no guarantee that the operation being run finishes before a thread which doesn't get to run the operation reaches the code following the call. Therefore it is useful to suppress messages but should not be used to do something like filling a container with values since the filling is not guaranteed to complete before another thread skips the call.
