The following example illustrates the shared d-pointer concept. The class presented here derives from QObject to illustrate parameter-passing in the constructor; it is not necessary to be like that in your code.

The header file, without Q_DECLARE_PRIVATE

class KFooBasePrivate;
class KFooBase : public QObject
{
public:
    KFooBase(QObject *parent);
    ~KFooBase();
    void setSomeInteger(int i);
    int someInteger() const;
protected:
    const QScopePointer<KFooBasePrivate> d_ptr;
    KFooBase(KFooBasePrivate &dd, QObject *parent);
private:
    friend class KFooBasePrivate;
    inline KFooBasePrivate *d_func() { return d_ptr; }
    inline const KFooBasePrivate *d_func() const { return d_ptr; }
};

class KFooDerivedPrivate;
class KFooDerived : public KFooBase
{
public:
    KFooDerived(QObject *parent);
    void setAnotherInteger(int i);
    int anotherInteger() const;
    int sumOfIntegers() const;
protected:
    KFooDerived(KFooDerivedPrivate &dd, QObject *parent);
private:
    friend class KFooDerivedPrivate;
    inline KFooDerivedPrivate *d_func()
    { return reinterpret_cast<KFooDerivedPrivate *>(d_ptr.data()); }
    inline const KFooDerivedPrivate *d_func() const
    { return reinterpret_cast<KFooDerivedPrivate *>(d_ptr.data()); }
};

The header file, with Q_DECLARE_PRIVATE

class KFooBasePrivate;
class KFooBase : public QObject
{
public:
    KFooBase(QObject *parent);
    ~KFooBase();
    void setSomeInteger(int i);
    int someInteger() const;
protected:
    const QScopePointer<KFooBasePrivate>  d_ptr;
    KFooBase(KFooBasePrivate &dd, QObject *parent);
private:
    Q_DECLARE_PRIVATE(KFooBase)
};

class KFooDerivedPrivate;
class KFooDerived : public KFooBase
{
public:
    KFooDerived(QObject *parent);
    void setAnotherInteger(int i);
    int anotherInteger() const;
    int sumOfIntegers() const;
protected:
    KFooDerived(KFooDerivedPrivate &dd, QObject *parent);
private:
    Q_DECLARE_PRIVATE(KFooDerived)
};

The .cpp file

KFooBase::~KFooBase()
{
}

void KFooBase::setSomeInteger(int i)
{
    Q_D(KFooBase);

    d->someInteger = i;
}

int KFooBase::someInteger() const
{
    // in const functions add 'const' to the class name
    Q_D(const KFooBase);

    return d->someInteger;
}

/*** KFooDerived ***/

class KFooDerivedPrivate: public KFooBasePrivate
{

KFooDerived::KFooDerived(QObject *parent)
    : KFooBase(*new KFooDerivedPrivate, parent)

KFooDerived::~KFooDerived()
{
}

void KFooDerived::setAnotherInteger(int i)
{
    Q_D(KFooDerived);

    d->anotherInteger = i;
}

int KFooDerived::anotherInteger() const
{
    // in const functions add 'const' to the class name
    Q_D(const KFooDerived);

    return d->anotherInteger;
}

int KFooDerived::sumOfIntegers() const
{
    // in const functions add 'const' to the class name
    Q_D(const KFooDerived);

    return d->someInteger + d->anotherInteger;
}
