destination register will show up in the MachineInstr operands vector. The code
to generate this instruction looks like this:
BuildMI(BB, X86::ADDrr32, 2, 1027).addReg(1026).addReg(1025);
BuildMI(BB, X86::ADD32rr, 2, 1027).addReg(1026).addReg(1025);
The first argument to BuildMI is the basic block to append the machine
instruction to, the second is the opcode, the third is the number of operands,

VI. Instruction naming
======================
An instruction name consists of the base name, a default operand size
followed by a character per operand with an optional special size. For
example:
ADD8rr -> add, 8-bit register, 8-bit register
IMUL16rmi -> imul, 16-bit register, 16-bit memory, 16-bit immediate
IMUL16rmi8 -> imul, 16-bit register, 16-bit memory, 8-bit immediate
MOVSX32rm16 -> movsx, 32-bit register, 16-bit memory
