If you mean value names, then they are meaningless. Each value 
represents its definition, some values have operands. For operands, the 
pointer immediately gives you the definition, for definitions there is 
use_iterator that will traverse all of its uses.

Also, mem2reg doesn't "convert to SSA". LLVM IR is always in SSA.
