[bug report] confusing nvcc error message

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA NVCC Compiler
1

missing an argument of ‘–threads’ leads to confusing error message, say:

% nvcc --threads -Wno-deprecated-gpu-targets any.cu
nvcc fatal : ‘-Wno-deprecated-gpu-targets’: expected a number

should nvcc report ‘–threads’ expecting a number as argument?

nvcc is reporting that in place of the literal

it was expecting a number
