Complete QtCreator project in attachment. I'm running it on QtCreator 2.7.0 and Qt 5.0.1, SUSE Linux 12.3.

can you send compilable code that reproduces this problem. I will try here.

Ok, I've tried this one:

        QVariant var(QMetaType::QObjectStar, &item);


and it almost works. Pointer somehow gets crippled after using QMetaProperty.write. When Item* is created originally - address is 0x1b952fo. But into Holder it is written as 0x1b95480.

Is is even possible? Maybe I'm constructing QMetaProperty not as intended?...

use gdb and see where exactly it segfaults. That will give better pointers than random guesses.
You can try posting backtrace here.

Thanx, that one was close, but still segfault:

        QSharedPointer<Item> pointer(item);

        QVariant var = QVariant::fromValue(pointer);

        list.append(var);

Hi All,
There is a problem in your code, actually I use this and work perfectly:
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(QSharedPointer<QPlcServerSocket::QExternalCommand>)
qRegisterMetaType< QSharedPointer<QPlcServerSocket::QExternalCommand> >();


Bye
