I think this check can be simplified to:

        if (!range.start || range.start >= range.stop)
                return;

nit: Technically (!range.start) should also never trigger. In a valid
image these symbols are either missing (range.start == range.stop ==
NULL) or both are defined and (range.start < range.stop).
