AshamedCaptain was talking about the plugin interface though which is just dynamically loadable modules for Qt applications. I looked it up and those things export C functions that return the C++ objects and meta-object system data.

They export _C++_ functions. You can't return a C++ object from a C function (unless you start making assumptions from the C++ ABI).
