Please, point out logical problems of cross-release than saying it's
impossbile according to the paper.

Isn't that the same? If it's impossible to use lock-graphs for detecting deadlocks
in programs that use mutexes, semaphores and condition variables without triggering
false positives that means that every approach that tries to detect deadlocks and
that is based on lock graphs, including cross-release, must report false positives
for certain programs.

Right. That's why I'm currently trying to assign lock classes properly
where false positives were reported. You seems to say there is another
cause of false positives. If yes, please let me know what it is. If you
do with an example, it would be more helpful for me to understand you.
