Transfer parameter to C++ by reference from QML

As I know,QML object will be convert to QVariantMap when transferred to C++ as method parameter, but this is transferred by value and new QVariantMap is created. The performance is not good enough for me.

What if I want to transfer an object by reference to c++ that the object is created by C++ registered type.

As example:
@//MyClass is C++ defined QObject-derived class and register to QML
qmlRegisterType<MyClass>("com.mycompany.myclass", 1, 0, "MyClass");@

In QML:
@var cObj = Qt.createQmlObject('import QtQuick 2.2; import com.mycompany.myclass 1.0;MyClass{}', mwindow, "dynamicMyImageDataCreate");

   //cppObj is a C++ object exposed to QML.
  
   cppObj.foo(cObj);@

In foo(),I want to convert cObj to as local object. foo may some like this:

@ void foo(QObject* cObj){
       MyClass* mc = (MyClass*)cObj;
       cObj -> x;
}@

Does Qt support this or is there way I can do this? Does Qt have mechanism to do such thing?

Thanks for replying.

I don't think this is possible. However you can get the reference to cObj in c++ by doing some C++ programming. If you want I can pass that sample to you.

Since JavaScript could create c++ object and operate it, there should be some way to pass by reference in JavaScript to operate that object.

I glanced at the code, qv4 engine seems has a struct called "Value" in "qv4value_p.h" to do such thing. I am still looking for the way.

I appreciate your sample,and this is my email:

I have sent sample program over the email.

Yes, I have tried the way as my question. It works. But only for C++ objects as parameters. If js object,such as var o = {...}, we could use QJSValue or QVariantMap to accept.
