These macros are defined in opal/class/opal_object.h. We are using them all over the OMPI code base, including OPAL, ORTE, OSHMEM and OMPI. These calls are indeed somewhat similar to an OO language, the intent was to have a thread-safe way to refcount objects to keep them around for as long as they are necessary.
