If SOURCE transfers to a malicious (or sufficiently attackable) contract, that contract might potentially transfer to yours, without SOURCE's consent. So if you are using SOURCE for authentication, you risk being confused. A good historical example of this is bakers paying out delegation rewards. Naive bakers did (and probably still do) just use tezos-client to transfer to whatever KT1 delegates they had, even if those KT1 were malicious scripts. + + + + +```pascaligo +function main (const p: unit) : address is source +``` + + +```cameligo +let main (p: unit) : address = Current.source +``` + + +```reasonligo +let main = (p: unit) : address => Current.source; +``` + + + +## Current.failwith(error_message: string) : a' + +Cause the contract to fail with an error message. + +> ⚠ Using this currently requires a type annotation on the failwith to unify it +> with the type of whatever other code branch it's on.
