Qt plugins in simple C++

Files with "so" extension are not static libraries, they are shared objects. You can feed such an object to "nm" and it'll return a list of symbols the library contains. Note that the list will contain mangled names!

I believe it uses windows sdk specific stuff, but I'm sure it could be made cross platform with a few #ifdef's / factories.
