This is not an assignment, that is a common misunderstanding. There is 
no register being assigned to the result of the add. The format is 
"%<name of instruction> = <instruction>". If you want your instruction 
to have the name "t" then call MyAddInst->setName("t");

There is no copy instruction in LLVM. You can fake it with bitcast but 
you should never need to do that.
