'i' is only referenced once inside the loop to check boundary,

the loop is actually iterating over cur_section, so i would make it
clear in the loop statement, e.g.:
Remove the break condition and the cur_section assignment at the end of
the loop and use the loop statement to do it for you

for (; cur_section; cur_section = next_section)

And for i you can just increment it inline:
if (++i == ...)
