It's high time we actually got rid of wxwidgets2.8, so I took another
look at this bug.
Upstream have yet to make a release from trunk, so I tried to make
minimal changes to get 13.12 working rather than packaging a VCS
snapshot.

My understanding is that upstream is working towards porting
codeblocks for wx 3.0, but it's currently not fully stable yet (e.g.
#736368).
The issue there is most likely because wx 3.0 enables WXDEBUG mode
by default which includes checks for incorrect API usage, whereas with
wx 2.8 you had to specify it explicitly when you built the library. In
other words, codeblocks is misusing the wx API, but with 2.8 this gets
quietly ignored by default, whereas 3.0 reports it by default.
I bet if you rebuilt codeblocks using the WXDEBUG build of 2.8
(available in Debian in package libwxgtk2.8-dbg - despite the name, this
isn't debug symbols, but a separate build of the library) you'd see this
assertion too.
The simplest way to address this is to build codeblocks with -DNDEBUG
(pass it in CPPFLAGS usually), which makes wx 3.0 behave as a default
build of 2.8 would.
I tested this workaround and I can't reproduce #736368 in a build with
-DNDEBUG defined. It's a shame we didn't actually test that before
jessie - sorry about that.
Running cleanly without disabling the WXDEBUG checks would be better,
but these checks are off by default in wx2.8, so it's no worse than the
current situation, and it doesn't seem worth investing time trying to
track down the relevant fixes from trunk.

In case I haven't made it clear previously, you're more than welcome
to NMU codeblocks; I doubt David and/or Michael would object.
Thanks, I've prepared an NMU for codeblocks (versioned as 13.12-3.1) and
uploaded it.
Cheers,
