The C++ extra symbols (typeinfo, virtual table, construction virtual 
tables, typeinfo names) as well as implicit constructors and destructors 
will share the class's visibility.

That means that, for _ZTI10KDEDModule to show up, KDEDModule has to be 
declared as an export.

Also note that those symbols are emitted alongside the so-called principal 
method for the class: the first non-static, non-inline method.

For KDEDModule, it's inside the kdedmodule.moc file.

That is odd. Are you sure the object was rebuilt? And the library 
relinked?

Can you see the symbol in the object, with readelf?
