Try putting the for loop that iterates over the pos vector in an if statement like

if(pos.size()>0){
        for(li i=pos.size()-1;i>=0;i--){
            if(pos[i]<mic){count++;mic=pos[i];}
        }
}

this made the runtime error not happen in custom invocation.

    That is the bug, but you should have mentioned why this is a bug. pos.size() returns a value that is not of type int but of type size_t, which is an unsigned type. If the array is empty and you subtract 1 from its size, you get (size_t)-1 which is 2^64-1 on most computers, so you access the array at index 2^64-1.

      I see, I didn't know that that's what caused it, thanks a lot for the explanation!
