compiling in linux using g++ - c++

Question

I have following code which is simply tokenizing an array and then deviding on the basis of '<' and '>' characters. It is running fine in VS community 2019 but when I run it in Linux using g++ command it gives
Free(): invalid pointer
and
Aborted (core dumped)
errors. What am I doing wrong.
PS: error seems to be in the instructions where I am deallocating b in rangbrk and langbrk because when I put it in comments it runs fine in Linux too. But it runs fine in VS 2019 anyways.

The reads function gets input, tokenizing tokenized the string in form of words. langbrk copies the string having index 1 less than index of '<' in infile and removes them both from main char** a. rangbrk removes '>' and string succeeding it from a and stores it in outfile
