C++ code:

#include <QtCore/QString>

class Test
{
public:
    virtual const QString& getName() const = 0;

    virtual ~Test();
};

Generated code:

const QString & TestWrapper::getName() const
{
    Shiboken::GilState gil;
    if (PyErr_Occurred())
        return ::QString();
    Shiboken::AutoDecRef
pyOverride(Shiboken::BindingManager::instance().getOverride(this, "getName"));
    if (pyOverride.isNull()) {
        PyErr_SetString(PyExc_NotImplementedError, "pure virtual method
'Test.getName()' not implemented.");
        return ::QString();
    }

    Shiboken::AutoDecRef pyArgs(PyTuple_New(0));

    Shiboken::AutoDecRef pyResult(PyObject_Call(pyOverride, pyArgs, NULL));
    // An error happened in python code!
    if (pyResult.isNull()) {
        PyErr_Print();
        return ::QString();
    }
    // Check return type
    PythonToCppFunc pythonToCpp =
Shiboken::Conversions::isPythonToCppConvertible(SbkPySide_QtCoreTypeConverters[SBK_QSTRING_IDX],
pyResult);
    if (!pythonToCpp) {
        Shiboken::warning(PyExc_RuntimeWarning, 2, "Invalid return value in
function %s, expected %s, got %s.", "Test.getName", "QString",
pyResult->ob_type->tp_name);
        return ::QString();
    }
    ::QString cppResult = ::QString();
    pythonToCpp(pyResult, &cppResult);
    return *cppResult;
}

It tries to dereference cppResult, but cppResult isn't a pointer.
