+	* gdb.cp/try_catch.cc: Include string.h.
+	(main): Replace comparison against string literal with
+	strcmp, avoiding build failure with -Wstring-compare.
+	Add "marker test-complete".
+	* gdb.cp/try_catch.exp: Run the test to the above marker,
+	then verify that the value of "test" is still true.
