+// The __PANIC_COMPAT macro is used to determine the action when client code calls an old mediasvr
+// function that is not supported under the new Multimedia components (MMF/ICL etc). The default
+// behaviour is to panic on debug mode but "return" KErrNotSupported for release. The macro can
+// be changed this default.
+
+#define __PANIC_COMPAT(result) __ASSERT_DEBUG((EFalse),(result))
+
+// __PANIC_COMPAT_IS_ACTIVE should be defined for what ever scenarios __PANIC_COMPAT might actually
+// call panic - eg. by default, for debug builds. This allows the Panic() calls of particular sub-modules
+// to be only defined if they are calls - thus avoiding warnings that would otherwise result.
