Class template `cpp_int_backend` fulfils all of the requirements for a [link boost_multiprecision.ref.backendconc Backend] type.
Its members and non-member functions are deliberately not documented: these are considered implementation details that are subject
to change.
The template arguments are:
[variablelist
[[MinBits][Determines the number of Bits to store directly within the object before resorting to dynamic memory
allocation. When zero, this field is determined automatically based on how many bits can be stored
in union with the dynamic storage header: setting a larger value may improve performance as larger integer
values will be stored internally before memory allocation is required.]]
[[MaxBits][Determines the maximum number of bits to be stored in the type: resulting in a fixed precision type.
When this value is the same as MinBits, then the Allocator parameter is ignored, as no dynamic
memory allocation will ever be performed: in this situation the Allocator parameter should be set to
type `void`. Note that this parameter should not be used simply to prevent large memory
allocations, not only is that role better performed by the allocator, but fixed precision
integers have a tendency to allocate all of MaxBits of storage more often than one would expect.]]
[[SignType][Determines whether the resulting type is signed or not. Note that for
[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary-precision_arithmetic arbitrary precision] types
this parameter must be `signed_magnitude`. For fixed precision
types then this type may be either `signed_magnitude` or `unsigned_magnitude`.]]
[[Checked][This parameter has two values: `checked` or `unchecked`. See the [link boost_multiprecision.tut.ints.cpp_int tutorial] for more information.]]
[[Allocator][The allocator to use for dynamic memory allocation, or type `void` if MaxBits == MinBits.]]
]
The type of `number_category<cpp_int<Args...> >::type` is `std::integral_constant<int, number_kind_integer>`.
More information on this type can be found in the [link boost_multiprecision.tut.ints.cpp_int tutorial].
