1. Start creating a new Qt plugin using "File" -> "New File or Project..." -> "Library" -> "C++ Library".
2. On the first page of the wizard, select "Qt Plugin" from the combo box.
3. Finish the wizard using defaults.
4. Open the created *.cpp file.
   You'll see the line:

   QObject * GenericPlugin::create(const QString &name, const QString &spec)
   

There should not be a white space after the "*", so the line should be:

QObject *GenericPlugin::create(const QString &name, const QString &spec)

Found while updating Squish test tst_APTW03.

Creator 4.8 does not create the line automatically, but only through "Insert Virtual Functions of Base Classes". Then, it creates the line correctly, without the wrong white space.
