Vim tries to jump to nonexistent file after :make

Question

I\'m using :make from vim and ending up jumping to the file with issues.

Recently, at least I noticed with gcc 4.6.1, vi

Answer 1

The problem is with slight differences in the errorformat required for recent versions of gcc.

I believe this was mentioned in C++ Lounge (chat) the other day, and an errorformat was posted that supposedly works better. I haven't tested that it does:
