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

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:33:13 -0300
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.dwarves
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

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")
