A bidirectional iterator
r
is decrementable if and only if there exists some
q
such that
+
+
q
=
=
r
.
Decrementable iterators
r
shall be in the domain of the expressions

r
and

Let
a
and
b
be equal objects of type
I
.
I
models

only if:
(3.1)
If

are decrementable, then all of the following are
true
:
(3.1.1)
addressof

addressof

)
(3.1.2)
bool
(
a

(3.1.3)
after evaluating both
a

and
-
-
b
,
bool

is still
true
(3.1.4)
bool
