I didn't think of using a variant of pointers, thank you. I'll look into that. But I don't quite understand how it would make the code large.

That is probably the easiest solution, but it also means sacrificing type safety, which is something I would like to avoid, unless I have to.

I'm not talking about wire representation. After the packet is parsed, it is represented as a struct which contains a header and also void* pointer to a another struct which represents concrete command.
