Class template cpp_dec_float fulfils all of the requirements for a Backend type. Its members and non-member functions are deliberately not documented: these are considered implementation details that are subject to change.

The class takes three template parameters:

Digits10: The number of decimal digits precision the type should support. Note that this type does not normally perform any dynamic memory allocation, and as a result the Digits10 template argument should not be set too high or the class's size will grow unreasonably large.
ExponentType: A signed integer type that represents the exponent of the number
Allocator: The allocator used: defaults to type void, meaning all storage is within the class, and no dynamic allocation is performed, but can be set to a standard library allocator if dynamic allocation makes more sense.

The type of number_category<cpp_dec_float<Args...> >::type is std::integral_constant<int, number_kind_floating_point>.

More information on this type can be found in the tutorial.
