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();
}

 even from void main? (which is still a type void). I have tried the this
 thing but it doesn't work

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.
