It seems to be related to your %token and %type declaration in your source. without the source line and the related token and type declaration it is difficult to help you.
If you specify an expr of type val and definer an ID token of type tptr
%{
#include "parser.h"
%}
%type <val> expr
%token <tptr> ID
If you write without any action bison will emit a warning
expr : ID;
warning: type clash ('tptr' 'val') on default action
Note that the bison level I am currently using print a slighty different message in this case.
foo.by:10.12:warning: type clash on default action : <tptr> != <val>
To fix this warning you need an explicit action:
expr : ID { $$ = some_conversion_code($1); }
