Similarly to VIR_FREE() we can set the pointer passed to virObjectUnref to NULL in case of disposing the object. However, to avoid overwriting nearly thousands line of code, the virObjectUnref is turned into a macro which passes the address of pointer and calls virObjectUnrefInternal (the modified version of original virObjectUnref).
I have to say I'm not really liking this, and your impl is not race free since you're not atomically updating the point.
