The issue you have is with the naming, you can't overload a
virtual function with a static one. A static function call is a
different call than a virtual one. You can't mix the two.

Actually you can do this, see my other post. Overloading a static
method with a virtual method or vice-versa works fine. You cannot
do is override a static method because it isn't virtual and is
nonsensical IMO.
The OP said they expected overloading to occur in response to
another post:

What do you mean? The methods have different signatures (static
x virtual)

so I don't know why they were thinking to override, probably just
a simple mistake.
