* frontend/drivers/platform_win32.c (frontend_win32_env_get): Check the size of correct destination array.
This builds on 763fcd8 ("unix, win32: Allow set the default libretro_directory via environment variable") to also allow specifying the assets directory via an environment variable. * frontend/drivers/platform_unix.c (frontend_unix_get_env) <libretro_assets_directory> New variable. Use it to set DEFAULT_DIR_ASSETS, when available. * frontend/drivers/platform_win32.c (frontend_win32_env_get): Likewise.
Until now, and unlike the defaut core directory, the default core *info* directory would be hard-coded relative to the installation directory. Honor the LIBRETRO_DIRECTORY environment variable the same instead. * frontend/drivers/platform_unix.c (frontend_unix_get_env): Set DEFAULT_DIR_CORE_INFO default to the value of the LIBRETRO_DIRECTORY environment variable, if available. * frontend/drivers/platform_win32.c (frontend_win32_env_get): Likewise.

Because the configuration file is systematically written when RetroArch terminates, persisting any previous default/configured value, setting the LIBRETRO_DIRECTORY, LIBRETRO_ASSETS_DIRECTORY, etc. environment variables would not have an effect unless the retroarch.cfg configuration file was cleared. This seems to go against the common expectation that environment variables are set by users to *override* the default behavior or configuration of an application. * configuration.c (config_load_file) <libretro_directory> <libretro_assets_directory, libretro_autoconfig_directory> <libretro_video_filter_directory, libretro_video_shader_directory> : New variables. Use the values of the LIBRETRO_DIRECTORY, LIBRETRO_ASSETS_DIRECTORY, LIBRETRO_AUTOCONFIG_DIRECTORY, LIBRETRO_VIDEO_FILTER_DIRECTORY and LIBRETRO_VIDEO_SHADER_DIRECTORY environment variables instead of their corresponding configured values, when set. * docs/retroarch.6: Document the environment variables honored and their behavior.

Description
See the commit messages, but in a nutshell, this adds support to set/override the assets_directory configured via a
LIBRETRO_ASSETS_DIRECTORYenvironment variable. The behavior of the existing LIBRETRO_DIRECTORY environment variable is changed so that it also overrides anylibretro_directoryvalue, with the rationale explained in the commit message.Related Issues
