What is a CDFG?  Do you mean a control dependence graph?  
Control-dependence can be computed utilizing the PostDominatorTree pass.

What do you mean by an instruction's ID?

I'm assuming that you're writing an LLVM analysis pass that creates this 
CDFG data structure as an internal, in-memory data structure.  If that 
is the case, then you simply use the pointer to the Instruction object 
to identify it.  Each Instruction object inhabits a different location 
in memory; therefore, pointers to them are unique.
