Not without modifying QtTestLib. QCOMPARE in that case calls the 
qCompare specialization for pointers:

>     }

compare_ptr_helper loses information on T1/T2 and just uses comparison 
on void*:

>     inline bool compare_ptr_helper(const volatile void *t1, const volatile void *t2, const char *actual,
>                                    const char *expected, const char *file, int line)
>     {
>         return compare_helper(t1 == t2, "Compared pointers are not the same",
>                               toString(t1), toString(t2), actual, expected, file, line);
