Decrement this iterator to refer to the previous element in the referenced array and return a reference to this iterator _after_ the decrementation. The returned iterator, `it`, referencing an element within a `PackedIntArray`, `array`, remains valid as long as `0 <= it ‐ array.begin() <= array.length()`. The behavior is undefined unless, on entry, `0 < *this ‐ array.begin()`.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bdlc_packedintarray.h>`
