Is there a way to return the current object in any part of the code, even from void main? (which is still a type void). I have tried the this thing but it doesn't work

I presume you mean returning self from a member function:

class C
{
    C foo()
    {
        return this;
    }

    C bar()
    {
        return this;
    }
}

void main()
{
    auto o = new C;
    o.foo().bar();
}

No, you can't return any object from main if the return type is void. You may define main as returning int, to communicate the termination status of the program to the environment that started it:

int main()
{
    return 0;
}

Main isn't a member of any object, so there is no "this" inside main.
