There is no LLVM instruction for an assignment, since it's superfluous in an SSA environment.

What are you using to create the IR?  In the above example, there's no need for var2; just "ret i32 12" will suffice if you're hand-coding it.  If you're generating the IR programmatically, you would normally use ConstantInt::get() with appropriate parameters to create a Value object that can be used wherever needed.
