 # Compiler Error C2574
 
-'destructor' : cannot be declared static
+> '*function*': cannot be declared static
+
+## Remarks
 
-Neither destructors nor constructors can be declared **`static`**.
+Neither [constructors](../../cpp/constructors-cpp.md) nor [destructors](../../cpp/destructors-cpp.md) can be declared **`static`**.
 
-The following sample generates C2574:
+## Example
+
+The following example generates C2574:
 
 ```cpp
 // C2574.cpp
 // compile with: /c
-class A {
-   virtual static ~A();   // C2574
-   //  try the following line instead
-   // virtual ~A();
+struct S
+{
+    static S() {}   // C2574
+
+    // Try the following line instead:
+    // S() {}
 };
