Subject: Is "a,b=c,d" atomic? or do I need a Mutex?

Hi, I have two methods that could be called by different threads and
both use the same array:

  def method1 object
    MyModule.array << object
  end

  def method2
    array, MyModule.array = MyModule.array, nil
  end

Do I need a Mutex (#synchronize() method) here? I think the answer is
NOT since both actions in the array are "atomic". Am I right?
