llvm dev - Mar 2016 - IRBuilder Assignment ( '=' ) operator?

In my code assembly system I have the various LH-RH operators, ADD, ADDF, SUB,
etc, using CreateAdd, CreateFAdd, etc, however I cant seem to locate the correct
function/s for the assignment operator.
What's the correct function/s in the IRBuilder for assigning a value?

The assignment is automatic. The pointer you get back from CreateAdd
can be used directly in other instructions. When this is transcribed
to the textual IR, LLVM will put in the appropriate assignments (so it
won't try to assign a store to anything for example, because it
doesn't produce a value that can be used elsewhere).

The Name parameter you pass to CreateAdd determines what variable will
be assigned, otherwise an incrementing number will be used (%1, %2,
...).

Cheers.

However I need the standard assignment operator so I can assign the value of a
temporary to that of another temporary, or to create a new temporary from an
existing one.
