C++ Static member function error C2556 overloaded function differs only by return type

I want to write a static member function in my class CountInv, which should have only this static function and no other members

//Inversions.h

#ifndef INV_H
#define INV_H

#include <string>
#include <vector>

class CountInv
{
    static void count();
}

#endif

//Inversions.cpp 

#include "Inversions.h"

void CountInv::count() {    return; };

I get the following compiler error :

 Error  3   error C2556: 'CountInv CountInv::count(void)' : 
overloaded function differs only by return type 
from 'void CountInv::count(void)'   d:\...\inversions.cpp   4

What is wrong? Nowhere have I declared or defined 'CountInv CountInv::count(void)' !! Should I write class c-tors,..,d-tors, or maybe some static data members to return from this function? but this should not be the issue..

I tried this on my local visual studio and adding semicoln in Inversions.h after class definition solves problem.

add ; to the end of class definition everything's goes fine!

Don't forget the closing semicolon ; after your class definition. That I think is causing the obscure compile error.
