The set of symbols dumped that are not explicitly declared in the source 
  files is specific to the version of GCC that is used as the parser. 
Version 0.4 used GCC 3.0, and version 0.6 uses GCC 3.3.  GCC 3.3 may not 
be including this symbol in the representation that GCC-XML dumps.

I think you may want to take the recursive search approach anyway 
because figuring out to which class the _ZTV symbol represents may be 
difficult when the class is a template instantiation and has a strange name.
