Summary

Here's a simple CMakeLists.txt that demonstrates the problem:

project("My project does not use C" CXX)
set(LLVM_DIR  "${LLVM_obj-root}/lib/cmake/llvm")
find_package(LLVM REQUIRED CONFIG)

Test with:

cmake . -DLLVM_obj-root=`llvm-config --obj-root`

Without the patch to FindTerminfo.cmake CMake v3.16.3 will fail with:

Unknown extension ".c" for file
...
try_compile() works only for enabled languages.

Thank you for the patch! It makes sense that the check functions depend on the corresponding language to be enabled.

The only issue I see is the converse is also potentially true (where the importer only has C enabled to link with the C API).

It should be written to check C if it is in the ENABLED_LANGUAGES global property, and fall back to C++ otherwise.

If you could also make the same modification to FindFFI.cmake, this will be a very useful change for importers with C++-only projects.
