为何不能修改：为了保证数据的单向流动，便于对数据进行追踪，避免数据混乱。官网有详细的信息 prop

所有的 prop 都使得其父子 prop 之间形成了一个单向下行绑定：父级 prop 的更新会向下流动到子组件中，但是反过来则不行。这样会防止从子组件意外改变父级组件的状态，从而导致你的应用的数据流向难以理解。

vue如何知道修改了父组件传来的props？

下面的代码就是实现Vue提示修改props的操作，在组件 initProps 方法的时候，会对props进行defineReactive操作，传入的第四个参数是自定义的set函数，该函数会在触发props的set方法时执行，当props修改了，就会运行这里传入的第四个参数，然后进行判断，如果不是root根组件，并且不是更新子组件，那么说明更新的是props，所以会警告

// src/core/instance/state.js 源码路径
function initProps (vm: Component, propsOptions: Object) {
  const propsData = vm.$options.propsData || {}
  const props = vm._props = {}
  // cache prop keys so that future props updates can iterate using Array
  // instead of dynamic object key enumeration.
  const keys = vm.$options._propKeys = []
  const isRoot = !vm.$parent
  // root instance props should be converted
  if (!isRoot) {
    toggleObserving(false)
  }
  for (const key in propsOptions) {
    keys.push(key)
    const value = validateProp(key, propsOptions, propsData, vm)
    /* istanbul ignore else */
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
      const hyphenatedKey = hyphenate(key)
      if (isReservedAttribute(hyphenatedKey) ||
          config.isReservedAttr(hyphenatedKey)) {
        warn(
          `"${hyphenatedKey}" is a reserved attribute and cannot be used as component prop.`,
          vm
        )
      }
      defineReactive(props, key, value, () => {
        if (!isRoot && !isUpdatingChildComponent) {
          warn(
            `Avoid mutating a prop directly since the value will be ` +
            `overwritten whenever the parent component re-renders. ` +
            `Instead, use a data or computed property based on the prop's ` +
            `value. Prop being mutated: "${key}"`,
            vm
          )
        }
      })
    } else {
      defineReactive(props, key, value)
    }
    // static props are already proxied on the component's prototype
    // during Vue.extend(). We only need to proxy props defined at
    // instantiation here.
    if (!(key in vm)) {
      proxy(vm, `_props`, key)
    }
  }
  toggleObserving(true)
}

// src/core/observer/index.js
/**
 * Define a reactive property on an Object.
 */
export function defineReactive (
  obj: Object,
  key: string,
  val: any,
  customSetter?: ?Function,
  shallow?: boolean
) {
  const dep = new Dep()

  const property = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(obj, key)
  if (property && property.configurable === false) {
    return
  }

  // cater for pre-defined getter/setters
  const getter = property && property.get
  const setter = property && property.set
  if ((!getter || setter) && arguments.length === 2) {
    val = obj[key]
  }

  let childOb = !shallow && observe(val)
  Object.defineProperty(obj, key, {
    enumerable: true,
    configurable: true,
    get: function reactiveGetter () {
      const value = getter ? getter.call(obj) : val
      if (Dep.target) {
        dep.depend()
        if (childOb) {
          childOb.dep.depend()
          if (Array.isArray(value)) {
            dependArray(value)
          }
        }
      }
      return value
    },
    set: function reactiveSetter (newVal) {
      const value = getter ? getter.call(obj) : val
      /* eslint-disable no-self-compare */
      if (newVal === value || (newVal !== newVal && value !== value)) {
        return
      }
      /* eslint-enable no-self-compare */
      if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && customSetter) {
        customSetter()
      }
      // #7981: for accessor properties without setter
      if (getter && !setter) return
      if (setter) {
        setter.call(obj, newVal)
      } else {
        val = newVal
      }
      childOb = !shallow && observe(newVal)
      dep.notify()
    }
  })
}

如果传入的props是基本数据类型，子组件修改父组件传的props会警告，并且修改不成功，如果传入的是引用数据类型，那么修改改引用数据类型的某个属性值时，对应的props也会修改，并且vue不会抱警告。
