COMMENTS
Of course the total number of symmetric matrices of this type (not necessarily positive definite) is 2^C(n,2).
This gives the number of different values of M + M' where M runs through the matrices counted in A127502.
EXAMPLE
The singular matrix
2 -1 -1
-1 2 -1
-1 -1 2
is the only 3 X 3 matrix of this type which is not positive definite.
