Other than the extra space in the editor, is there any difference between the two statements?
EDIT: Thanks for the answers. I would also like to know how each statement is evaluated by the compiler.

No – for anything other that PODs the operators may be overloaded.
You would hope that any reasonable implementation makes these operations the same, but it is up to the developer and not enforced by the compiler.
You can imagine even more subtle problems when people overload operators such that
(A==B)is not the same as(B==A).
