Interesting. Running gdb with a random input of n=10k

The issue is in your comparator. Removing it cures the program of the SIGSEGV. What also works is changing a1[1] > a2[1] to a1[1] >= a[2]. This stackoverflow answer explains the reason.

Edited to Add:

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/sort mentions less than for comparison function. You need a strict partial order.

comparison function object (i.e. an object that satisfies the requirements of Compare) which returns ​true if the first argument is less than (i.e. is ordered before) the second.

mach_vm_map(size=1152921513196781568) failed (error code=3) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::bad_alloc: std::bad_alloc

When i changed some parts of your code (not drastically) I've got this exception. To simplify it means that you ran out of memory at some stage. By doing some further research i came up to a conclusion that an error pops up at sorting with comparator stage.

Its a simple memory leak. You have to change your comparator and it'll most likely solve the problem. The above links will guide you.
