When I run my program from within vim

myprog: myprog.cpp:123: assertion 'x==1' failed
vim tries to interpret the the output and jump to the offending line
number.
The problem is that in the example above it incorrectly interprets
the filename as "myprog: myprog.cpp", so it opens a file with that
name, which doesn't exist, and then tries to jump to line 123 in that
non-existent file.
My question is: Where in vim is this behaviour specified and how can
I tweak it to do the right thing?
See :help errorformat
Try,
:set efm=%*[^\ ]%f:%l:%m
So, that addresses one aspect of the problem. But I want to ask: is
it ever useful to have quickfix jump to an error in a nonexistent file
in the first place?
And if there's not a good use case for it, can this be changed at a
lower level? If quickfix is told to open a file that doesn't exist,
throw an error, instead of trying to open it.
