(customization point object)
Call signature
template< Iterator I >
constexpr I prev( I i );
(1)
template< Iterator I >
constexpr I prev( I i, ranges::difference_type_t<I> n );
(2)
template< Iterator I >
constexpr I prev( I i, ranges::difference_type_t<I> n, I bound );
(3)

Decrements the iterator i n times, or until bound is reached, whichever comes first, and returns the decremented iterator.

1) Equivalent to --i; return i;.
2) Equivalent to ranges::advance(i, -n); return i;.
3) Equivalent to ranges::advance(i, -n, bound); return i;.

Customization point objects

The name ranges::prev denotes a customization point object, which is a function object of a literal Semiregular class type (denoted, for exposition purposes, as PrevT). All instances of PrevT are equal. Thus, ranges::prev can be copied freely and its copies can be used interchangeably.

Given a set of types Args..., if std::declval<Args>()... meet the requirements for arguments to ranges::prev above, PrevT will satisfy ranges::Invocable<const PrevT, Args...>. Otherwise, no function call operator of PrevT participates in overload resolution.

In every translation unit in which ranges::prev is defined, it refers to the same instance of the customization point object. (This means that it can be used freely in things like inline functions and function templates without violating the one-definition rule.)

Return value
