First, be aware that an Instruction and the virtual register to which it 
is assigned are one and the same.  So, for example, the add instruction 
and the %add18 register are, in fact, the same entity represented in 
memory as a single object of class Instruction.

Second, to answer your question, you're wanting the name of the 
instruction and of every value that it uses.  To get the name of the 
instruction, call its getName() method.  For the instruction's operands, 
just iterate through the operands and call their getName() methods:

for (unsigned index = 0; index < I->getNumOperands(); ++index) {
     I->getOperand(index)->getName();
}
