Before this change, when
sv.set_which(w.value)
is already done and the followingsv.visit(...)
throws, thestaic_variant
object passed into the function may be updated to something incomplete and may cause unintended problems.Although usually we don't reuse
static_variant
variables, it's not guaranteed.This does lead to additional data copy.
