I want to suggest our team to use codeblocks as main ide to develop commercial software , we use gcc( tdm-gcc in windows , gcc in linux) as c++ compiler. there is no gui development in our team . The main development is in windows , and the source code should sometimes be compiled in linux .
I want to know that if there is any risks or potential risks for whole team switch to cb?

No risk to use Codeblocks to develop commercial software.
Codeblocks is an IDE released under GPLv3, it is a development tool similar to GCC. (You can use GCC to develop commercial software too.)
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

Yes of course, the new version has a special feature, which burns your hardware...
