Returning a QString to a QLibrary

[johnmauer]

I am using a shared library and load it using QLibrary. That requires that the functions be exported with extern "C". However, the function

extern "C" QString objectName(long type);

extern "C" QString objectName(long type);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

gets a compiler warning

'objectName' has C-linkage specified, but returns UDT 'QString' which is incompatible with C

Is there a way to export a QString return from a shared library? I would prefer not defeating a really good class like QString.
