 No, I just read C++ :)

 The object is allocated, it is then passed by value. The pointer returned
 by new is never deleted.

 That will leak, guaranteed..

 > I tried first allocating it on the stack but I get a compile error that
 you cannot take the address of an object on the stack. It made sense
 because as soon as you end the method where it is allocated it is no
 longer valid (will be overwritten in the stack), so the
 QNetworkConfiguration will be pointing to invalid data.

 I just upgraded my laptop to 16.10 last night, will give it a try.
