Not really: the destructor is virtual, because the class inherits from
QObject, whose destructor is virtual.
Also, there is a d pointer, the one from QObject: QObject provides a
constructor which takes a QObjectPrivate class. You can subclass
QObjectPrivate, add your members, and then pass your QObjectPrivate
subclass to the QObject constructor when you initialize it.

Given the above, I don't think you need to go for any of this.
