We consider initial-boundary problems for general linear first-order strictly hyperbolic systems with local or nonlocal nonlinear boundary conditions. While boundary data are supposed to be smooth, initial conditions can contain distributions of any order of singularity. It is known that such problems have a unique continuous solution if the initial data are continuous. In the case of strongly singular initial data we prove the existence of a (unique) delta wave solution. In both cases, we say that a solution is smoothing if it eventually becomes $k$-times continuously differentiable for each $k$. Our main result is a criterion allowing us to determine whether or not the solution is smoothing. In particular, we prove a rather general smoothingness result in the case of classical boundary conditions.
