Thanks for working on this! I'm now going over it, and one thing I
noticed was that the (on malloc*) on all the entries matched by that
wildcard, can I suggest that you expand it there as well? I.e.

probe_libc:malloc_set_state (on malloc_set_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)

This way we'll now when aliases are used, and also for the versioning
case, i.e. to which version is a probe pointing?

See also Paul Clarke's question and suggestion, which I agree, i.e.
instead of chopping off the version, just replace the chars with valid
ones or better, do what Paul suggests, be more flexible in interpreting
@, i.e. if it is a number and/or fails to point to any file, interpret
it as versioning.
