CheckLanguage
-------------

Check whether a language can be enabled by the :command:`enable_language`
or :command:`project` commands:

.. command:: check_language

  .. code-block:: cmake

    check_language(<lang>)

  Try enabling language ``<lang>`` in a test project and record results
  in the cache:

  :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER`
    If the language can be enabled, this variable is set to the compiler
    that was found.  If the language cannot be enabled, this variable is
    set to ``NOTFOUND``.

    If this variable is already set, either explicitly or cached by
    a previous call, the check is skipped.

  :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_HOST_COMPILER`
    This variable is set when ``<lang>`` is ``CUDA`` or ``HIP``.

    If the check detects an explicit host compiler that is required for
    compilation, this variable will be set to that compiler.
    If the check detects that no explicit host compiler is needed,
    this variable will be cleared.

    If this variable is already set, its value is preserved only if
    :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER` is also set.
    Otherwise, the check runs and overwrites
    :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_HOST_COMPILER` with a new result.
    Note that :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_HOST_COMPILER` documents it should
    not be set without also setting
    :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER` to a NVCC compiler.

For example:

.. code-block:: cmake

  check_language(Fortran)
  if(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER)
    enable_language(Fortran)
  else()
    message(STATUS "No Fortran support")
  endif()
