Usually, you set up two decoders that both reference the same functions
(or most of them). In the case of shared function, they would then
execute a different codepath depending on codec_id as required.
See mpeg12dec.c and how both the mpeg1 and mpeg2 AVCodec entries are
essentially the same for an example. Or the nvenc encoders.
