Just to elaborate this. This means saving configuration files in "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/codeblocks" or (if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set) in "$HOME/.config/codeblocks", saving data-stuff (I guess what's right now under .codeblock/share) under "$XDG_DATA_HOME/codeblocks" or "$HOME/.local/share/codeblocks" and caching stuff under "$XDG_CACHE_HOME/codeblocks" or "$HOME/.cache/codeblocks"
