Could I retrieve the datatype from a variable in C?

Question

Has a way to get the datatype in C?

For example:

int foo;

if (foo is int)
{
    // do something
}

or something like:

if (typeof(foo

Since C11, you can do that with _Generic:

if (_Generic(foo, int: 1, default: 0)) // if(typeof(foo)==int)
{
    // do something
}
