[vbox-dev] A harddisk seems to be forced to have a parent, I don't understand the design ...

Try replacing it with:

    Assert ( (!parent.isNull() || mParent == NULL) );

If the original (without the double brackets) triggers the Assert when
mParent == NULL, but the version with double-brackets does not, then
you have a bad definition of the Assert macro.

I note that COMDefs.h includes this:

+++++++++++++++
/* Both VBox/com/assert.h and qglobal.h contain a definition of ASSERT.
 * Either of them can be already included here, so try to shut them up.  */
#undef ASSERT

#include <VBox/com/com.h>
#include <VBox/com/array.h>
#include <VBox/com/assert.h>

#undef ASSERT
+++++++++++++++

@Devs: Wouldn't the second '#undef ASSERT' be a problem...
