You don't need to copy the QPointer. A QPointer is a weak pointer class. 
It is told by the object it holds, if it's deleted, and then switch to a 
null pointer.

So in your case, you simply give the object it holds to your function 
instead.

If you want to, you can create a QPointer in your function.

void myFunction(QObject* o) {
   QPointer p(o);
   // do something
}

QPointer p(theRealObject);
myFunction(p.data());

I hope this helps.

Bo.
