autoexp.dat with native C++ types

[Alex]

Hi all,

I have an application that encodes various data into unsigned int
(this is how type is displayed in the debugger). I wanted to create a
Debugging Expression Evaluator that decodes this info. However, it
looks like it is impossible to register evaluator function for C/C++
internal types. When I tried:

unsigned int=$ADDIN(my.dll,MyFunc)
or
int=$ADDIN(my.dll,MyFunc)
or
unsigned=$ADDIN(my.dll,MyFunc)
or
iType=$ADDIN(my.dll,MyFunc)

where iType defined in my program as
typedef unsigned int iType;

My function was simply not invoked. This technology worked for custom
types, though. I wonder if there is any way to achieve what I want? Am
I doing something wrong or this is a known debugger limitation?

Regards,

Alex
