C++ does it (C doesn't).

And...this has been asked, e.g.:

Answer 3

i think i need to look into the addition of the _Generic keyword in C11. (supported in GCC since version 4.9).
(Overloading isn't truly "built-in" in the fashion shown in the question, but it's dead easy to implement something that works like that.)

_Generic is a compile-time operator in the same family as sizeof and _Alignof. It is described in standard section 6.5.1.1. It accepts two main parameters: an expression (which will not be evaluated at runtime), and a type/expression association list that looks a bit like a switch block.
