Function LASMessageExt

src/lasmessage.cpp:133–186

Reduces repetitive log messages and summarises them. On the one hand, both formatted and unformatted messages (arguments inserted and not) are collected. ext_cnt specifies whether the summary should be displayed at the end of the log. rep_times specifies how often the message should be repeated in the log before it is summarised

/// ext_cnt specifies whether the summary should be displayed at the end of the log.
/// rep_times specifies how often the message should be repeated in the log before it is summarised
