where do I get cppcheck codeblocks plugin file?

I've installed code::blocks via ubuntu software center. I was never prompted anything, and the app was just installed.

The problem now is, that everywhere it says that cppcheck is integrated into code::blocks, but I don't see it anywhere. I've tried compiling the app with some obvious errors (returning local variable by reference), and there were no warnings or errors in the output.

Also, I don't seem to be able to find cppcheck.cbplugin anywhere.

Can anybody help me out here?

You need to install package codeblocks-contrib. You also need to install package cppcheck itself. Then, when you restart CB, CppCheck will appear in the Plugins menu, and you can run it from there.

I do not recommend running it like this on a large project. It is liable to take a very long time and freeze your desktop in the meanwhile. Better run it independently in console.
