Can googletest stringification produce a hexadecimal format?

Question

I'm using Google Test to assert that certain error codes occur, and these are always hex constants. So this output is less than ideal:

mytest.cpp line 130 and its output:

EXPECT_EQ(0xBFFF0011, error)  << "Expected second close to return an error";

[ RUN      ] MyTest.CloseSessionFail
mytest.cpp(130): error: Value of: error
  Actual: -1074130544
Expected: 0xBFFF0011
Which is: 3221159953
Expected second close to return an error

For EXPECT_EQ(expected, actual), is there some way to cause it to format hexadecimal output?

Ideally I'd like to see this:

  Actual: 0xBFFA1190
Expected: 0xBFFF0011
