What exactly does not scalable mean? Passing arguments to the constructor
rather than setting them up later is often good because there is no time window
where the object is not set up. Generally speaking we don’t want to have to
write code to handle a client of 0 unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Another option, if the objection is a function with a lot of arguments, is to
pass in a structure with all the client pointers to the constructor.
What concrete problem are we trying to solve here? The words “doesn’t seem
scalable” alone don’t make that clear to me.
