I am not sure I completely understand the issue. Just passing a pointer won't work. The compiled protobuf code won't try to infer the size of the object. Also it will go over the wire, so you can't reference memory on the other node. In one way or another, you need to serialize the object to a byte array. How you interpret that on the other end is different thing; here you should be able to reconstruct the object and have the implementations handy on the receiver side.
// Sender Obj a; task.set_data(a.serialize()) // Receiver Obj b; b.deserialize(task.data()) b.foobar(); // Call your method - the implementation need to be known by the receiver. Did I misunderstand your question?
