rustc -g file.rs does not work #12811

After PR #12714, the -g option to rustc stopped working robustly.

Basically, it seems to gobble up any succeeding token as the numeric argument setting the debuginfo level, so you cannot pass -g immediately before the input file name.

Here is an example of the breakage:

% rustc /tmp/hw.rs -g
% rustc -g /tmp/hw.rs
error: no input filename given
% rustc -g=2 /tmp/hw.rs
error: debug info level needs to be between 0-2
% rustc -g 2 /tmp/hw.rs
% rustc -g2 /tmp/hw.rs
% 

My recommended fix: split the options so that --debuginfo requires the level parameter, while -g does not accept a level parameter (and instead always has the same effect as --debuginfo 2).
