[PATCH 4/7] encoders: Fix diagnostic messages for unexpected tags in enumerations

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 11:19:05 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

Print the actual unexpected child tag's name and id instead of the
parent enumeration's, so the diagnostic message is useful for debugging.

Fixes: a1b3ec41fcc2433d ("dwarf_loader: Initial support for DW_TAG_subprogram in DW_TAG_enumeration")
