I would like to have declaration like this: 

void Date::get_days_name(const Date& = this)

which I would understand that if no argument is provided use this object as an argument. For some reason in VS I’m getting err msg:

‘Error 1 error C2355: ‘this’ : can only be referenced inside non-static member ‘

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

    You could make overloaded function:

    void get_days_name(const Date&) const;
void get_days_name() const {
  get_days_name(*this);
}

    (BTW, this is a pointer, not a reference.)
