The --i is pretty subtle. Moving the index variable backwards in a conditional in a for loop is pretty evil :-) I started writing up why this was wrong until I noticed that.

I think the following would be more straight forward:

i = 0;
while (i + 1 < view->nr) {
   int begin = i, end = i + 1;

   while (matches(&view->ranges[begin], &view->ranges[end])) {
      end++;
   }

   memmove(...)
}


Right; updated to something along these lines.
