Is it possible to write a program which would print out it's own
source code, using C++?

It probably is. But my dumb compiler complains that there is no
'main' in my program...

Yes, that's trivial.

is to develop with a dynamic system that has extreme late binding in
all aspects. The first system to really do this in an important way
is Lisp. -- Alan Kay

Ok, so you need at least a main.

int main(){
// add something here...
return 0;
}

Weird. This one doesn't print its own source code. Why?

Allow me to correct Pascal's code:

int main()
{
// add something here to print its own source.
// this is left as an exercise to the reader
return 0;
}
